You only saw red
|
After I said, "How can we continue?"
|
Hidden from your view
|
In the blue corner that I painted myself into
|
Then we started to fight
|
And it changed everything
|
Here's the ring
|
|
You dropped the band, I can't understand it
|
Not after all we've been through
|
Words start to fly, my glass jaw and I
|
Will find one to walk right into
|
|
You knocked me out
|
It was the sweetest punch
|
The bell goes...
|
|
I can hear it ringing, but I didn't see it coming
|
We all say things we don't mean
|
You can't take it back
|
|
Now the room is spinning, but was I the last to notice?
|
I can see I'll never win
|
So if you're going
|
Then you better go to him
|
Then you better go to him
|
|
I only saw stars
|
I dropped my guard, and that's how it ended
|
What was I to do
|
In the blue corner where I seemed to hang suspended?
|
|
Then with seconds to go
|
You delivered the blow
|
Here I go
|
|
You dropped the band, I can't understand it
|
Not after all we've been through
|
Words start to fly, my glass jaw and I
|
Will find one to walk right into
|
|
You knocked me out
|
It was the sweetest punch
|
The bell goes...
|
|
I can hear it ringing, but I didn't see it coming
|
We all say things we don't mean
|
You can't take it back
|
|
Now the room is spinning, but was I the last to notice?
|
I can see I'll never win
|
So if you're going
|
Then you better go to him
|
Then you better go to him
